The Supreme Court's landmark decision repudiating President Bush's plans for Guantanamo prisoners exemplifies effective checks and balances. However, to prevent future erroneous interpretations of the law, and erroneous executive orders SOONER, checking and balancing the president's actions needs to be conducted immediately after the president declares that knowledge by the Supreme Court and Congress of a particular negotiation's details will not hinder it. Perhaps, Congress could also elect three additional Supreme Court justices exclusively to oversee the president.
And when everything the president says officially is also audiorecorded by three separate machines to prevent tampering, the Supreme Court's twelve justices and the 535 members of Congress will be able to access to the scientific, word-for-word truth concerning any of the president's actions.

The "levels" being as sergent, lieutenant for example

Has this happend to anyone else? I have a friend who was stationed in Affghanstan for a year. When he returned he only had two years left and the told him that if he extended his service for two more years they wouldn't send him back over. Of course he happily signed on. But about six months later his troop was called to duty in Iraq. When he confronted them they simlpy said "We are not sending you back to Affghanstan". I think they tricked him, what do you think?

Again as I took my wife and brother and his wife to the Big Boy Restaurant here in my town I observed a man with a magnet on his vehicle saying "God Bless out troops". I walked up to him ( Like I did the others ) and said "Thanks for supporting the troops" and I got a big smile from him and his son. Then I said "I want your son to enlist in the Army or Marines to help President Bush". The look on their faces was one of horror. You'd think I just put a piece of crap in their mouth. The father said " I....I....I only support the war if other sons are dying in the war". The son said " I'm going to college....I.....I....I have a girl friend....I have alot going for me .....I....I am not a loser like the other guys who join the service"....With that they walked away from me mumbling what a creep I am for asking them to serve Mr Bush. So I once again took the magnet off of their car. ( I now have 5 magnets ) All I can say is "So much for the people who say they support the war.

Osama clearly stated before your 2004 election that any state that voted for Bush would be attacked. Why didn't you listen?

What is the highest priority in the conflict? Is it how Iraq will turn out or is it the casulty numbers for the west? What could be done that is not being done?

Which crime do you think deserves a harsher punishment? Rape or murder. Why do you think that? Which one is worse in your eyes and why?

Under Shari'a (Islamic) law, in force in the UAE, a Muslim woman is not allowed to marry a non-Muslim man unless he converts to Islam. Such marriage under Shari'a in the UAE is considered null and void, and the parties may be subject to punishment such as imprisonment or flogging for fornication.

Elie Dib Ghaleb, a 30 year-old Christian Lebanese national has been sentenced to 39 lashes and one years' imprisonment reportedly solely for having married Mona, a Muslim woman from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). His ordeal began on 5 December 1995 when police went to the Intercontinental Hotel in al-'Ain in Abu Dhabi, where he worked as a restaurant manager, took him to his residence and searched for his marriage certificate. When they found it they arrested him. He was detained until 29 October 1996 when a Shari'a court in al-'Ain tried and sentenced him allegedly solely because of his marriage, as a Christian, to Mona.

What makes something terrorism? What defines it as such: its goals, or tactics? Was the US, when breaking off of Britain, engaging in terrorism? What about the carpet bombing of cities done by both sides in WWII?

His dad happened to hold a high rank in government, and he never saw combat. Would you think lesser of such a person over someone who actually volunteered to go into combat? Would you trust such a person in matters of war?

how many people think its the governments fault we have so many illegals in the us?before we blame the actual immigrants,dont you think it would not be such a big problem if our government had tackled this problem early on?regan tried exactly whats being done now in 1983,but somehow it got sweped under the rug like this one will.i dont think we will hear anything about immigration until november.if we do,it will be minor proposals that do pass that wont make a dent in anything,like letting the ones that are here stay here.i really think the only thing we have to blame is our government,for letting it continue.do you think the problem is too big?do you think we have dug a hole too deep?are we going to be forced to just make do?serious thoughtful answers please,and thank you.
